Individual Skills, Interests, and Goals

Individual Skills, Interests, and Goals

Much of the coursework this semester will occur in interdisciplinary teams comprised of specialized roles. While each member of a team will contribute to all areas of the design, s/he will focus largely on one area in particular.

Do you see yourself as a writer? A programmer? An artist? A musician? Do you have knowledge, passions, or proficiency in another area not necessarily related to games (history, philosophy, biology, psychology, sociology, sports, film, calligraphy, origami, astronomy, stamp-collecting, cooking, comic books, martial arts, etc.) but that you feel could enrich your game in any way?

You may have skills and interests in multiple areas, or you may be seeking to improve in one area in particular. This course is an excellent opportunity both to hone skills you are passionate about and to improve in other areas. In order to ensure that you get the most out of this course, and that teams possess balanced skillsets, please list the following:
